ALEX

The silence in the car felt oppressive as I drove back from Camilla's apartment. Her words echoed in my thoughts, each phrase like a fresh wound.

"Alex, I don't want you close anymore. Not outside our partnership."

Her voice, steady but tinged with finality, played repeatedly. I held the steering wheel tighter, the ache in my chest acute and constant. She had shut the door to her heart, locking me out. And this time, there was no uncertainty or crack in her determination. I was left standing outside, hoping for a miracle that may never arrive.

My thoughts moved to Ava. Her brilliant smile appeared in my imagination, a spark of brightness in the dark. I remembered how happy she was when she saw me at her school today. Her smile made me pleased, and I felt I was coming near to fulfilling my dream, but it came crashing down at my feet.

Yesterday at the supermarket, she spotted me from the corner of the aisle and when I approached her, her eyes beamed with excitement as she scr

    CAMILLA Her voice swelled and echoed down the silent hall. My heart raced in my ears, and my hands trembled. I jerked my arm free and stepped back, angry at her."Let me make this clear, Alessia," I murmured, my voice wavering slightly. "Alex makes his own choices. "If he left you, it was because of you, not me."Her face twisted with rage, and her lips curled into a scowl. Her contemptuous gaze swept across me. Then, suddenly, she shoved me hard.The push caused me to stumble. My heel got snagged on the smooth floor, and I couldn't restore my balance. My leg smashed with the sharp edge of the wall, causing pain. I gasped and collapsed to the ground, gripping my hurting leg.Tears distorted my vision, and I strained to breathe. The pain was intense, acute, and relentless, affecting my entire body.Alessia stood above me, her expression frigid and immovable.

    CHAPTER 1.CAMILLA The beep from my phone pierced through the peaceful chats of the hospital waiting room. I paused before answering. My fingers, still numb from holding the pregnancy report, reached sluggishly for the phone. "Camilla, where are you?" Mirabel's voice was frantic and pulled me back to reality. "I'm just leaving the hospital," I replied, my tone remote. A mild, delicate delight grew inside me, blended with something deeper. "What's going on?" Mirabel was silent before she spoke again. "Get to the hotel. Now." Her voice faltered. "Your husband is been stolen from you by another woman." It's Alex He's… "He is with another woman."The words hit me like a slap in the face, but I didn't respond. I could not. Not in front of everyone. I tightened my grip on the phone, my breath wavering as I battled the nausea that was forming in my throat. "Which hotel?" I murmured. She mentioned the city's most exquisite five-star hotel, a place that seemed almost mystical to me—like so

    CHAPTER 2.CAMILLA I was brought back to life from the veil of fear and bewilderment that had shrouded me since I saw Alex at the hotel by the sound of his car humming in the driveway. As I waited for him to enter, my heart wrenched horribly. He'd been away for three days, without saying anything. And throughout those three days, I had convinced myself that he was too busy at work to return home. But I knew in my heart. Even before I saw them together, I could tell that something was odd. If not, why was he acting so aloof? How else could he remain away from me?I heard his slow, steady footsteps nearing the front door. My pulse raced with fury, concern, and, shamelessly, hope. The door creaked open, and there he was—tall, broad-shouldered, and as polished as usual. As he moved past me, his face remained expressionless. There was no word, not even an apology, for making love in public with another woman. It was as if I did not exist. I am invisible to him. I inhaled hard, my thro

    CHAPTER 3.CAMILLA I had spent hours mentally preparing for this moment. I'd go into his office, demand an explanation, and notify him about the baby. Maybe—just maybe—he'd finally see the cause to see me. Finally, see us. The home looked like a cemetery now. Every empty room rang with thoughts of what could have been, drowning me in their stillness. I couldn't wait for him to return home, particularly since it had become nothing but icy walls and stillness. And Alex? He was no longer the person who slept next to me, but a ghost, leaving for days, inaccessible by phone, and left me clinging to a marriage that seemed like it was slipping away.He would never get home before midnight, if at all he's coming home. Even if I called, he would not answer. He never did. That's why I had to go into his office. I needed him to hear me; he couldn't ignore me in person. This was my last chance to save our marriage, and I wasn't going to waste it. Not while I am carrying our child.As I drove,

I love her so much, that I couldn't wait to get married to her. But She crushed my heart. I thought that once I married her, the world would stop being empty and she would make everything right. But, I was wrong. Totally wrong.When Alessia returned from Paris, I thought she was still the same girl who had filled my head with dreams years before. The woman who pushed me, made me laugh, and was really driven and energetic. But she wasn't the same girl anymore. It was as if Paris had eaten away the best parts of her and replaced them with something darker. Her face seemed familiar, but her soul... I could scarcely recognise it.It started with little, unimportant things. Her love for the better things in life was not new, but after Paris, it became more of an addiction.

    Camilla. As soon as I opened the door, Ava jumped off the couch, her bag still hanging on one shoulder and her drawing book held securely in one hand. Her big, expectant eyes looked beyond me, filled with hope. "Where is Big Uncle?" she said, her voice brimming with innocence and delight. I froze for a moment, my stomach wrenching. I expected this question, but that didn't make it any simpler to answer. "Honey," I murmured, attempting a grin that did not reach my eyes; "he had an important meeting to attend. He promised to return another day. The words tasted harsh and heavy as they left my tongue. I could feel the tightness rising in my chest, my fingers clenching into fists at my sides. Alex had no plans to return—not if I had anything to say about it. I couldn't dispute that Ava adored him. It terrified me how quickly she'd become attached. Her sparkling eyes faded, and her little shoulders sagged under the weight of disappointment. She fiddled with a corner of her sketc

  • AFTER MY EX-WIFE    MOVING FORWARD

    CAMILLA The stillness between us was oppressive and crushing. I could feel his eyes penetrating through me, as if he was trying to read my thoughts and figure out how I felt. My heart thudded terribly in my chest, and I struggled to keep my expression neutral. But then he spoke, his tone gentle and almost hesitant."I'm sorry."Those two words struck me harder than intended. I blinked in amazement at the unexpected apologies. Alex never apologised. Not back then. Not after he left me devastated and damaged. Especially not when I asked him to stay. His coldness had always been impenetrable, and hearing him apologize made my chest constrict with mixed emotions.For a brief moment, I sensed a spark of something—hope? But I pushed it down immediately. I couldn't let myself believe it. Not again. His words had previously caused me to believe in a love that never existed. Was this just another one of his schemes?I examined him closely, noting how his jaw clinched slightly and his hands fi

  • AFTER MY EX-WIFE    THE BATTLE OF BOUNDARIES

    CamillaAva's enthusiasm twisted my heart. She took Alex's hand as they walked to his car, her little feet leaping with each step and her face beaming with joy. I could not bring myself to stop her. I wanted to, I truly did. I wanted to call her back and remind her of the boundaries I had set. But, how could I? How could I ruin that joy, that innocence, simply because I was afraid?She was so carefree and full of faith. And there it was: the terrible sting of jealousy. She was more than just thrilled to see him. She was thrilled to be with him. How readily she welcomed him into her world, without hesitation, and without the barriers I had built up over the years. It was as if he had never hurt me, as if his absence for all these years had no significance.My hands tightened over the steering wheel, my fingers throbbing as I struggled to keep my emotions under control. This wasn't only about Ava's happiness. No, it was about him. It always returned to him. Alex. The man who crushed my

  • AFTER MY EX-WIFE    AN UNWELCOME GUEST

    ALEX The bell rang, and within minutes, children flooded out of the school, filling the air with laughter and conversation. My heart beat as I scanned the crowd. Then I saw Ava. Her bag thumped against her little back, and she held her food flask in one hand. Her neat locks flowed with each stride, but something about her appeared different. She appeared more collected and less fun than normal, almost as if she were carrying more than a child her age should."My princess," I said, straining my voice to seem light.Ava's eyes brightened as she spotted me. "Big uncle!" she said, racing towards me. Her laughter filled the air as I bent down to catch her and take her into my arms."You fulfilled your promise!" She giggled and wrapped her arms around my neck."Of course," I replied, smiling as I held her close. "You know you are my princess. I always keep my promises."She nodded fervently, her enthusiasm contagious. "School was fine today. "I received a star for my drawing!" she said, sh

    ALEXThe drive to work felt longer than usual, though traffic was not an issue, but silence. It was the kind of silence that grabs you by the throat and won't let go. My mind was racing with ideas, all of which circled back to the same instant. Camilla's voice rang in my head, trembling like it had when I told her the truth."Ava is my daughter too." * The line I had crossed. I couldn't keep the truth buried any longer. But rather than bringing down her walls, it appeared to strengthen them. There was a long pause after I said that, a hush so thin it felt like it would snap. I could still picture it. Her fingers was presumably clasped tightly around the phone, her thoughts racing. Then her voice broke through, piercing and icy. * "I'm done with this." * I called her after she hung up, desperate to repair the damage. But each time, it went directly to voicemail. I called again. And again. Nothing. The silence at the other end was deafening. Her phone was off, which was unusual f
